Is this the Crew Resources version of a wind shear recovery?

Firewall it and pitch to the PLIs!

Do we think an AE will follow quickly after this memo? Sometime this month or next?

We havent added a truly new Capt to NYC 320 in over 3 years! We have 91 hour lines in March and I thought we werent running hot anymore?!!
What a spot on call! It's almost as if you contacted CR and read them the riot act or they read your post. The very next day out comes the White Flag.

Step in the right direction. Nice to finally see them admit they made a mistake

so now the questions start

365 day bid or numerous small bids? Staffing issue going forward seems to be abundantly clear

He said they will still be displaced. This was just a strategic move. They delay these displacements a couple of months, then they have some displacements to post in May and voila we get a 365 day bid.

BS admitted that some of the displacements that were just canceled will still end up getting displaced on a future AE. To me that means they are planning on a massive 365 day bid since it requires displacements, and now they have some teed up for a just such a bid.

And if I don’t get reinstated I’ll likely get pushed down another 10% in relative seniority since the cancelled positions would have added pilots behind me. Anyone have some cheese to pair with my whine?

Operation Enduring Clusterf&ck continues.
Funny gameshow: Press Your Luck. However, I keep hearing the music they would play when you landed on a "Whammy".....confidence is still low. Let them surprise me.

I think all this shows is that we are not roaring back, but rather they cut too deep, too fast - to include the shock at number of VEOP takers - and are now in a manning square corner. Recovery is a loooooooooooonnnnnnngggggggggg way off.

I am surprised they waved the White Flag this early. I thought they were actually going to wait til May

SILs.

But no, we can't ever have nice things. Would have saved them a bunch of thrash. Can't have another union on property though - no sir, no way.

He said likely will. The funny thing about 365 bids is no one can figure out who actually wants them. Training doesn’t. Network is indifferent because they don’t care about pilot staffing. So crew resources is the only one left?
